Abstract Humans express a wide array of ideal mate preferences. Around the world, people desire romantic partners who are intelligent, healthy, kind, physically attractive, wealthy, and more. In order for these preferences to guide choice actual partners, human mating psychology must possess means integrate information across many preference dimensions into summaries overall value their potential mates. Here we explore computational design this integration process using large sample n =...
Human spatial behavior has been the focus of hundreds previous research studies. However, conclusions and generalizability studies on interpersonal distance preferences were limited by some important methodological sampling issues. The objective present study was to compare preferred distances across world overcome problems observed in We an extensive analysis over a large data set ( N = 8,943 participants from 42 countries). attempted relate social, personal, intimate each country...
Individuals are thought to have their own distinctive scent, analogous a signature or fingerprint. To test this idea, we collected axillary sweat, urine and saliva from 197 adults village in the Austrian Alps, taking five sweat samples per subject over 10 weeks using novel skin sampling device. We analysed stir bar sorptive extraction connection with thermal desorption gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), then statistically chromatographic profiles pattern recognition techniques....
Considerable research has examined human mate preferences across cultures, finding universal sex differences in for attractiveness and resources as well sources of systematic cultural variation. Two competing perspectives-an evolutionary psychological perspective a biosocial role perspective-offer alternative explanations these findings. However, the original data on which each relies are decades old, literature is fraught with conflicting methods, analyses, results, conclusions. Using new...
Interpersonal touch behavior differs across cultures, yet no study to date has systematically tested for cultural variation in affective touch, nor examined the factors that might account this variability. Here, over 14,000 individuals from 45 countries were asked whether they embraced, stroked, kissed, or hugged their partner, friends, and youngest child during week preceding study. We then a range of hypothesized individual-level (sex, age, parasitic history, conservatism, religiosity,...
Abstract Recent cross-cultural and neuro-hormonal investigations have suggested that love is a near universal phenomenon has biological background. Therefore, the remaining important question not whether exists worldwide but which cultural, social, or environmental factors influence experiences expressions of love. In present study, we explored countries’ modernization indexes are related to measured by three subscales (passion, intimacy, commitment) Triangular Love Scale. Analyzing data...
The Triangular Theory of Love (measured with Sternberg's Scale – STLS) is a prominent theoretical concept in empirical research on love. To expand the culturally homogeneous body previous psychometric regarding STLS, we conducted large-scale cross-cultural study use this scale. In total, examined more than 11,000 respondents, but as result applied exclusion criteria, final analyses were based sample 7332 participants from 25 countries (from all inhabited continents). We tested configural...
Cross-culturally, fragrances are used to modulate body odor, but the psychology of fragrance choice has been largely overlooked. The prevalent view is that mask an individual's odor and improve its pleasantness. In two experiments, we found positive effects perfume on perception. Importantly, however, this was modulated by significant interactions with individual donors. Fragrances thus appear interact creating individually-specific mixture. a third experiment, mixture their preferred...
A wide range of literature connects sex ratio and mating behaviours in non-human animals. However, research examining human is limited scope. Prior work has examined the relationship between desire for short-term, uncommitted as well outcomes such marriage divorce rates. Less empirical attention been directed towards mate preferences, despite importance preferences literature. To address this gap, we ratio's to variation attractiveness, resources, kindness, intelligence health a long-term...
In recent years, evidence has been gathered indicating increased attractiveness of female faces at the point ovulation. this paper, we asked what changes in facial appearance occur during menstrual cycle that lead to shift attractiveness. We analysed photographs 20 young women with a normal cycle. found for textural changes, as well shape might account ovulatory peak Generally, ovulation is perceived more attractive — and ovulating are closer their face "ovulation shape". These findings...
